Can't 'ReStart' PC - only 'ShutDown'

    Hi folks -
    I've installed TweakUI for the benefits it gives me for the look of my
    DeskTop Screen. I also tried installing ReStart and ShutDown Buttons on my
    DeskTop but could only get the ShutDown button - which I've now deleted from
    my machine. I don't know if either of those actions have anything to do with
    this but when I go to Start>ShutDown>ReStart, my PC shuts down but doesn't
    restart back up again. I have to manually shut my PC 'OFF' and restart it
    again. I wanted to save a second and now, have gained 120 of them!
    I can't go to System Restore because, for some reason, I always get a
    message telling me that my PC can't be restored back to the date and time
    I've selected, no matter which bold date I choose to go back to.
    So I'm in a little mess here and would greatly appreciate any reply
    regarding a way to solve either of these problems/situations.
    Hope to hear from someone soon!
    And thanks an awful lot,
    Billy

    What have you done via TweakUI?

    You say you 'installed' "ReStart/ShutDown Buttons". Is
    this third party software you are talking about?

    What operating system?

    Consider using: scanreg /restore
    http://www.windows-help.net/windows98/start-145.shtml

    Start Windows in MS-DOS mode (press the Ctrl key as soon as your PC starts.
    This will get you the Bootup menu.
    Once the menu is up, choose Command prompt only)
    Type Scanreg /restore at the prompt press [ENTER]
    You will get a screen where you can select which registry backup to use
    Choose the last known [STARTED} and choose Restore
    When ready you'll be prompted to Restart your computer.

    You can reinstall System Restore with these steps:

    quotes and press enter.
    2. Look for SR.INF and RightClick on it, then LeftClick it, select "Install"

    Follow the prompts, Reboot and System Restore will be ready to use.
